This is going to suck Dragonballs

[Java]

The sad thing is that someone wrote an article for my school newspaper listing the Top 10 Movies to Watch Out for in 2009.

Dragonball ranked #9.

I couldn't even believe that he ranked it in the first place!
I was dumbfounded by this.

The rest of the choices at least made sense...

To be fair, I would have put it on the list had I made it, possibly in another section, but with the commentary among the lines of:

"Even though I am not a Dragonball fan, Fox's adaptation of the famous Japanese manga/anime will probably be an entertaining film, although not in a good way. Based on the trailers, it will do nothing but enrage fans and confuse the public. Plan to see it only if you are a Dragonball fan that can laugh at inaccuracies caused by confused network execs that never bothered to read the manga or even watch the anime. Look for it in 2009 all right, but only on the list of future Razzie nominations."

I'm going to rent Mortal Kombat for preparation of this crap-fest.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he meant it in a serious way.
It would have been even worse if it was in the Top 5.  :-X

This will either be an unfortunate success like Disaster Movie or one of the biggest critical and box office bombs ever.

I'd go for "unfortunate success."  As much as they've screwed things up for fans, I'm sure it will still be a decent movie for those who aren't familiar with Dragonball.  I think that should be the mentality you all should have when seeing this movie:  that it is a totally new concept, and any names of people or places synonymous with the anime/manga are complete coincidence.

Then why bother getting the license!? Make your own dang origionality instead of leeching off of someone else's work...like Godzilla 98.
A perfect example of what I'm saying is "The Lion King". Yea, it's pretty copy/paste of Kimba the White Lion, but they made everything different instead of blatantly copying.

Technically, Lion King was based on Hamlet.  And I actually like Godzilla 98 (I guess I'm just more tolerant of movies).

The only similarity between the two was uncle killing father and father visiting as a ghost X_X;;
I'm pretty sure it was kimba...it even has the cloud scene...
but whatever.

Lion King=Hamlet
Lion King 1/2=Rosencrance and Guildenstern are Dead
Lion King 2=Romeo and Juliet

Sure, they aren't EXACT copies (having literally every major character in LK1 die wouldn't go well with the kiddies), but if you really pay attention, those are what they're based on.
